A Few NBA Playoff Thoughts

Chris The Birdman Anderson of the Denver Nuggets has REALLY embraced his nickname. I’m not mad at him for it, either! It’s made him a fan favorite, which undoubtedly has put money in his pocket. Besides, it’s cool to see someone have fun out there expressing his individuality without doing it in a showboat kind of way, or a Dennis Rodman batsh*t crazy one. Besides, he can jump out the gym, and hustles non-stop, so it’s hard not to like him.   

Rajon Rondo is an extremely talented player, but he reminds me of one of the Gremlins. Not to take anything away from his game, because he has impressed me, especially after plays like this. He just has a ghoulish quality that I can’t quite put a finger on!

Speaking of Celtics lookalikes, is it me, or does Brian Scalabrine look like the pro basketball version of Seth Rogen? Maybe I just watch too many Judd Apatow movies…

Last Celtics lookalike observation: I have come to terms with the fact that Eddie House appears as if he could be one of my high yellow cousins. The proof that he’s NOT one of my relatives came during last night’s game when Rafer Alston damn near slapped his headband off. My family would have at least shoved dude into the first row of the crowd. Then again, House did the right thing by not swinging back. I just know that my relatives tend to be cut from a “If people saw him try to punk you, BEAT HIM UNTIL HE CRIES LIKE A SCHOOLGIRL BITCH” kind of cloth. We only walk away when faced with the threat of jail time. Or if we’re completely outnumbered. Of if they have guns and we don’t. Actually…this list of scenarios is getting too long, so I’m going to stop with the ridiculous tough-guy talk!

I like Ron Artest, and I don’t think he should have been ejected from the game last night for arguing with Kobe Bryant. He should have been ejected for his haircut!

Just kidding. I’m sure that Ron Artest knows as well as anyone else, that all eyes will be on him whenever a situation gets heated during a game. Being the main culprit in the worst fight in NBA history will do that to you. To his credit, Artest seems to have learned from the incident, for the most part.

Those were just a few random thoughts I had while watching the games last night. I may end up doing something like this again sometime soon, since basketball is all I seem to be watching these days.
